Garlett Rejects West Coast

[Aphrodite]

How Carlton landed the little bloke

Shane Rogers can remember casting a judicious eye over Jeff Garlett at Arena Joondalup, in the WAFL's opening round of 2008, in a match involving the home team West Perth and Swan Districts.

At that time the Carlton Assistant Recruiting Manager, together with Wayne Hughes and Carlton's WA scout Ross Parker had already cast the net over anyone and everyone chasing the leather in the West Australian league, Garlett included, but Rogers and Parker fronted for the fixture open-minded.

"Anyway we were watching this night game and during the match this little bloke kept bobbing up and kicking goals," Rogers recalled. "Off the top of the head he lined up in a forward pocket and kicked four, and everything you saw last Friday night he did."

My favourite part of the article

While it's reasonable to assume Garlett's rookie status might have somewhat delayed his elevation to senior selection, nobody bothered telling Jeff, as Rogers discovered in a funny postscript to the draft.

"I remember picking him up at the airport when he flew in from Perth for the first time," Rogers said. "I gave him the spiel about the club and the importance of knuckling down and biding your time to earn elevation to the senior list later in the season. He said to me, 'Oh no, I'll play round one, don't worry about that'. I said to him 'You've got to be elevated prior to round one' and he said 'I will'. and he was."

Way to go Jeffy, well done & well deserved

A 30 minute double post?

You need a faster modem man...


Great that we signed him. Can concentrate solely on his footy and continue his good form. Do wonder what they would have offered though; Quinten Lynch is key forward after all!

I'm homesick. Me and Yazz are heading to Perth.



Actually, off to the States for a few weeks. Not sure if this is private or not, but curiously HBF is off to Hawaii and will leave Hawaii the day before I get there. Any reports of volcanic activity prior to my arrival, I am going to chalk up to HBF's diet decisions.
